Licensing

This guide describes how to update the license for a CloudShark system.

The License File

The license file is a cryptographically signed plain-text file containing the expiration date of the system’s Subscription or Maintenance and Support Agreement (MSA)

A valid license must be installed in order to use CloudShark.

Updating your license

When the MSA for a system is renewed the license file must be updated for the changes to become effective.

Upgrade Steps

  1. Visit the QA Cafe Customer Lounge and login with your email address.

  2. Download the updated license for your system.

  3. Copy the file to your system under the directory /usr/cloudshark/etc/licenses/.

  4. Restart CloudShark for the new license to take effect.

systemctl reset-failed cloudshark-\* && systemctl restart cloudshark-full
  1. Verify the new license is picked by visiting the Appliance Setup -> System Info page within CloudShark.
